Every website contains variable information for users. Some users may find it useful to save this information on their computers. That means we need to give the user the ability to download information in a file then upload it on our website and show it. How we can do that?

To save a file we need to create three inputs (filename, content, and extension). When a user clicks on the “save file” button we create a blob file and invisible link. This link we use to create a Url for our file, then we manually click on our click and download the file.

To upload a file we need to create an input that accepts files and a button. When a user clicks on a button we make a click on file input. In file input on event “change”, we bind our method. Every time when a user selects we call our method to read a file.

As a result, we have a small form to upload and save a file.

If you need to take a close look at the project here is the link.
